How long does the psychotic period last for someone who just quit Meth?

Question by TeeShirt: How long does the psychotic period last for someone who just quit Meth?
My relative stopped meth about 3 weeks ago, but she is still behaving psychotically. It has improved but not much.

How long does it last? WIll it be permanent?

She took meth regularly for 3 years.

Best answer:

Answer by A.
It’s very difficult to predict. People react differently, and taking meth “regularly” can mean a lot of different things. Withdrawal can take weeks or months, and although the withdrawal symptoms will probably decrease over time, she may have permanent effects. It’s just really hard to know.
